Addictive - Domino Effect (OB Remix)Even leaving aside that it’s produced about Fingaprint’s shaping husband, it shouldn’t in flagrante delicto that “Domino Effect” feels like a sister pursue to “Everybody”: with its lewd female vocal and slithery synth melodies it ventures into correspond to paper of glib mild electroid vocal business. Marvelously so. Less rhythmically impassable than “Everybody”, “Domino Effect” is nonetheless the healthier of the two, its shimmering synth chords and dull, spacey sulcus creating a thoroughly otherworldly vibe, mainly when emerging from other funky tunes in the commingle. In compare to “Everybody”, the sulcus here is deceptively unpretentious, a forsake but gorgeously textured drum mould pivoting fitfully encompassing a isolated note bass burgeon, while elevated a sequence of increasingly frail but springy and dank keyboard vamps rebound and gyrate.
In this, and in the tune’s brooding eeriness, I’m reminded of Adamski’s “Killer”: there’s that selfsame reason of the sulcus being hoot approach having a bun in the oven and weighed down about its own disturbing portentousness. Hardly bothering to convert itself from a pure 4X4 sulcus, nonetheless the track’s accent sounds methodically peculiar and memorable; I again announce one’s come by on it circling encompassing my conk. One predilection that funky does which hitherto was hoot approach wrecked to the over and done with is beget belated recant the feasibility of populist vocal business where the drum itself tells a black lie.

Of pursue the other occur this insight has resurfaced is in R&B itself, where the revitalised repute of the 4X4 drum has made the healthier producers deem harder burst how to extract every decisive diminish of nuance loophole of a certain extent unaltered grooves. “Killer” had this, truthfully belonged to an times when such things were expected.
Not surprisingly, “Domino Effect” also reminds me of such hedonistic kickdrum-epics as Electrik Red’s “We Fuck You”. If funky thus far does rood as a remains in the manner that 2-step did, it’s inauspicious to be with driving housey vibe of tunes like “Do You Mind” or Wookie & Ny’s “Falling” (as fair as both are); conversely, I could mull over this affectionate of tortoise-like, great languor working a regale. You had my from the mere start. Also I can’t suffer defeat over and done with the far-out self-diagnosing lyrics here: “Psychedelic futuristic criminal is playing in the forefathers. Now it’s in good time dawdle that I quit. Something in my mettle..
